Last night (about 7:30) a black bear took down my bird feeder. This is about one month earlier than last year. Now I am waiting for the hummingbirds. ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44� 15' N - Elevation 1580')

I always figured that if I won a lottery I'd like to set up a cat sanctuary. But I could never figure out how it's possible for a small number of staff members to take care of a large number of free-range cats. My cats have little RF tracking devices on their collars so I can find them when I have...

Due to the way the computers are set up, sometimes I will see a lone white paw reaching up, up, up. This is my insane cat Dusty's way of asking if he can sit on my mom's lap. Or, as she prefers, circle and dig in her class and act crazy- like.

There is a rodent or a rodent family digging a trench through the outdoor enclosure. I think it's a mole but the hole for entrance looks bigger, so maybe chipmunks. It goes directly through the cat's enclosure and tonight Rhett and Scarlett dug into the tunnel trying to find it.

I built a very nice styrofoam home for outside cats, currently occupied by a small girl cat named Baby. The house is wedged into an area between a fence and the steps up to my house, so it's quite stable. This morning, while leaving for work, I saw a raccoon going into Baby's house! I did not...

Someone on the RPCA group on Facebook posted a link, which I looked at and then tried to comment about it on the group. I am a member of the group (otherwise I wouldn't be notified of posts!), and I was logged in at the time. When I clicked in the comment box, the little text that says "Write...

Purrs to all in advance because I haven't read here as much as I used to. Poor Rhett. He's had diarrhea for a couple of days and he was scheduled for a vet appt yesterday for his rabies shot, so I had to just take Scarlett because I couldn't find Rhett in time. Vet said if Rhett's diarrhea...

Most of the information I found doesn't make a damned bit of sense and what I do understand has factual errors. No, I'm not talking about Bonsai Kitten. Unfortunately what I saw was real. Anyway, the webpage that has the abuse is www.reddit.com/r/tailbait --- GRAPHIC. In conclusion, I have no...

What would have happened to me if Kitty Farmcat had not adopted me and allowed me into her own house? He'd have died.

You all remember this florida rescue center we talked about in this group a long time ago posted on the ASPCA website Since Monday, February 26, the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response (FIR) team has been in northern Florida managing the removal of hundreds of cats from an...

If there are any Irish kitties here, I wish them happy Irish eyes on this St. Pat's Day. And hope they get some corned beef for their din. MLB

I have pet steps next to my bed. After Persia taps (or lays a paw on) my nose to wake me up, when my eyes open she starts to purr. Loudly :) I get some gentle kitty kisses/nips on my arm (and sometimes my chin) as I pet her (and try to wake up). When I say okay, okay, momma up! she gets down...

I promised Pooh when she crossed over that I find another kitty (via rescue). Pooh loved her home and she knew that another kitty saved was one less feline outside in cold weather, with no food, little to eat and hardly a place to keep her warm. So, here's a guy named Alex. He refuses to...

I'm soooo tired of doctors who rip people off. I had an appointment yesterday with an opthalmologist. When I first moved here in 2008 I went to this practice to get new glasses. That was almost 5 years ago. That doctor sold his practice and moved away. For whatever reason, about 1.5 years...

My digital camera conked out so I went in search of a new one. I finally settled on one, a Lumix 16.1 MP with a wide Leica zoom lens. I got it for a great price. I selected it upon recommendations from birders. They're all about taking pictures of wildlife. Persia isn't wild... she's a...
